Re: (meteorobs) WILL WE SEE GEM FIREBALLS TONIGHT?



This is a great reminder Lew!  As I recall, traditionally the Geminids have been
known to produce a fair percentage of fireballs, just on the backside (tonight) of their
maximum.  Hopefully, our local weather gurus are correct so that I can nab that 
2230 - 0030 observing period.  I need to snag a Geminid fireball as I am currently
in a severe fireball drought.         Hoping for clearing skies - Felix
